demand their rights. >> reporter: ambassador stevens was a moving force in the u.s. partnership with the new libya. >> his enthusiasm, his unbridled sense of hope and love for the libyan experience. he is the machin who actually walked the streets of benghazi. he has seen the revolution in eyes that probably even libyans haven't shared. >> reporter: mark ginsberg is a former ambassador to morocco. >> he was one of those people who dedicated his life to reconciliation between the arab and the united states. he was a peace corps volunteer. he joined the foreign service and obviously committed his life to not only reconstruction and rehabilitation of arab societies, but also focused on libya quite a bit. >> in speaking to americans, and muslims today throughout the washington area, we heard the same message over and over. they hope that the assassination

of ambassador stevens does not derail the partnership between the united states and the new libya. wendy and jim? >> christ gordon, thank you. we will be continuing to follow this story. we'll have more on the deadly attacks. the violent protest in the middle east, and there is also new reaction to this. you can also stay up to date on nbcwashington.com. for the second time in three weeks, prince george's county is dealing tonight with the murder of a high school student. both crimes remain unsolved. pat collins joins us from capitol heights. pat? >> reporter: jim, one killed in her home, another killed walking to school. two teenagers murdered in 21 days. there's a lot of worry here. in two separate incidents, to prince george's county high school students murdered in the last three weeks.

>> i like to say the iphone 5 is quite impressive. i personally am going to get it because i'm a software developer. i would highly recommend it if you have an iphone 4 to upgrade. >> why? it's so cool. >> it's got an 86 processor, so it's tremendously fast. it can launch apps up to two times faster. so they're a lot more responsive and speedy. it's got a bigger screen, so it's taller. they're going to take use of that for videos. it's close to 16 by 9, close to wide movie format. it's just a really impressive device. >> the charger, too, is updated, too. how does that affect docking stations? >> apple says for $15, that they're selling an adapter to change it. so a lot of the older devices can work. i think it's going to be fine. i think you're going to get into weird space, because i've been in hotel rooms where they thaf embedded in the wall. you may hit some funny spots. but i don't think it's going to be an issue.

but iowa six, which is the new operating system, is supposed to have something comparable. >> if you have the ipand and iphone, do you need the iphone 5? >> define need. >> i know. because everyone needs anything apple has. >> as a developer, i do. one thing very important to note that all of the apps are not necessarily going to utilize the bigger screen space. they're going to be letter boxed until you actually make sure that you update your app to fit the larger screen display. >> all right. ben young, thanks a lot. you know your stuff. stick around. >> this guy's going to be in line, you know. >> doug, we might need to do some upgrade. >> we've got the droid. you know, you said you hav both. i understand that. we've got the droid. you know what that means. we don't have to worry about all this fuss when it comes out? >> i have a blackberry. so i'm really in the stage coach era. >> and it's like this one, the
